Abantu abaningi bayakwazi ukubona ubuhle bomnyama wemvula, kodwa kubakholwa abakholwa eBhayibhelini, imimoya yemvula inobufakazi obukhulu bokudala okumangalisayo kukaNkulunkulu.
Uma imisebe yokukhanya evela elangeni ihlangana nengxenye engenhla yedropha lamanzi egobile, iyagobeka ngenxa yokuguqulwa kokukhanya bese ibuyiselwa ngaphakathi edropheni, iphuma ngokugoba cishe amadigri angu-138 ukusuka endleleni yayo yokuqala. Imisebe yokukhanya ehlasela ingxenye engaphansi yedropha nayo iyagobeka ngokufanayo, iphuma ngokugoba cishe amadigri angu-232. |
Eziphethweni eziphikisanayo zesibhakabhaka, ukukhanya okubomvu okwesibhakabhaka kugobeka kancane kakhulu kunokukhanya okubomvu ngenxa yalo msebenzi wephrizim, okubangela ukusabalala kwemibala ehlukene yokukhanya okumhlophe; okusho ukuthi, isimanga esiholela embungeni esibona. Ukukhanya okuphuma kulezi zindawo ezimbili kwakha zombili imibungu eyinhloko neyesibili evame ukubonakala ngemva kwemvula.
Uma amafu e-cirrostratus eba namakristalu eqhwa anhlanu ngokuyinhloko anobukhulu obufanayo, ukukhanya kwelanga okudlula kula makristalu kugoba ngamashumi amabili nambili ezi-degree. Futhi, i-engeli yokuphambuka inkulu ekukhanyeni okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka kunokubomvu, okubangela ukusabalala kokukhanya okumhlophe nokwakha umugqa omncane wemibala yentambo yemvula. Lokhu kubizwa nge-halo yamashumi amabili nambili ezi-degree, noma i-sun dog.
Isahluko 9 seNcwadi yokuQala sithi uNkulunkulu wadala umbala wezulu njengesibonakaliso sesivumelwano sakhe sokungaphindi abhubhise umhlaba ngenhlambulo, kanti iHubo 19 ithi izulu limemezela udumo lukaNkulunkulu. Izinga eliphezulu lokuhleleka elibonakala emibala yomvubkolanga nasemajabulisweni elanga libonisa ukuthi umhlaba wethu awuzange ube khona ngokungahleliwe njengoba abalandeli bokuziphendukela kwezinto bezofuna sikholwe, kodwa wadalwa uMdali owazi konke.
